I don’t know when I began to dream of having a car of my own. It should be long before I decided to learn to drive at a local driving school. However, this dream was kind of vague, hidden deep down in my heart, for I had other more important things to worry about. In quite a long period of time, my biggest wish was to have an apartment of my own. After all, to have a decent house to live in is the most basic need for anyone. When this dream came true, it is just natural for me to aim a higher target.

The problem is that my bank loan for the present condominium is still being paid monthly. Buying the flat and the decoration afterwards almost dried up my life savings. With my wife laid off, I know this new dream is sort of unrealistic. However, I just cannot help but think of cars. Whenever I turn on the computer, I’m always searching and looking at and reading about all kinds of cars, as if I were possessed. Especially after I passed the driving tests and finally got the long-cherished license, this desire got even stronger. As a matter of fact, it has become my top priority. I just cannot help it. Nothing else can arouse my interest except the four-wheeled creature! Within several days, I became so knowledgeable that I can tell the brand of a car at first sight. I’ve gone crazy, even to the degree of being a maniac. Am I deep in love with something that has no soul and feelings? Even when I fell in love for the first time, the feelings were no stronger.

It’s time to come back to the reality, though it seems not easy. Frankly speaking, I should be more sensible and practical. However, I strongly believe that it is better to have a dream than having none at all. I know that I have to be patient and plan ahead; yet having a dream makes my life more purposeful and meaningful, doesn’t it? It is, to some extent, a beacon in life. Nothing is impossible in this world if you have a dream in your heart. Life should be fun and yearning for a car of my own is to enjoy the fun I may have in the future. I never doubt that this dream, like any one else before, will be realized eventually.
